Was on Craigslist looking to add a bass player to our group of guys who just jam for fun. Came across ad looking for worship musicians. The thing is, I don’t belong to this church, listen to Christian music and haven’t been to church in 30 years. But I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and play with other musicians, which is the best and fastest way to learn and improve, regardless of the music genre. I replied, got an answer, got some contemporary Christian songs emailed to me Friday night, broke them down and jammed yesterday. That’s when they asked if I wanted to play at this morning’s service. I’ve never played in front of people but I said yes again.
Everything went well, other than dropping my drumstick 10 seconds into the first song (luckily I had others within reach, something I’ve learned on this forum!). Got a few compliments and I basically have the gig if I want to keep doing it. Strange how everything happened so quickly but I guess that’s rock and roll! First live performance down - hopefully many more to go!
